ABC week

Ok so I thought I should throw in something somewhat educational this summer. We decided to have an ABC week. We reviewed and practiced writing our uppercase and lowercase letters, we played a fun game of alphabet tag, we "exercised" our letter sounds and we also made an ABC book. The kids had so much fun with this. We searched high and low for objects that started with each letter of the alphabet. I let the kids take a picture of it, we put them in albums and voila, ABC books! My wonderful sister was also in town this week and we had tons of fun hanging out with her amazing family. She lives out of state so I only get to see her every other year. My dear sister is also my bff and it was so much fun to see her!!







exercising our letter sounds


Taking some pics for our ABC books. They wanted to use chairs for the letter c. They just couldn't resist showing off their best poses. I particularly like Brigham's, it reminds me of a stag dance back in the day.


We practiced our letters in shaving cream. They were pretty worried the whole time about how messy they were getting. I thought kids were supposed to like being messy? Oh well. You win some you lose some.


This is my everyday life now... Ever since Brigham had a otter pop sale at Beckham's, this is ALL he wants to do. Everyday he thinks of something new to sell. Lately he's into washing bikes for money.


I love this pic. I think this captures the true essence of my little munchkins. Brigham is extremely worried that Mckell is "shaking" the cow and Mckell is loving every minute of it. I sure love these two. I wonder what Molly will be like? I'm going to guess that she will be the one trying to jump off of the cow. As of right now, she is the most daring of our kids.


We went with my sister and some of her kids to Thanksgiving Point. The older two boys spent the week at EFY so most of the week it was just Emma and Eli hanging out with us girls!
